Green Bay Absentee Is the Key

Green Bay & Kenosha absentee votes are the key to who wins Wisconsin.
As of 6am, we don't know.
Green Bay had a voter turnout of 84%, which is astounding.

We can hope, but Brown County (Green Bay) is quite red, with the Congressional and State race results going red.

Election Results aren't a burger drive thru

Remember folks, every ballot needs to be counted and that will take time.

The election results are not like getting a burger in a drive thru in five minutes. Try ordering 150,000,000 burgers and see how long it takes.

The official due date for all states is in mid-December when every state must report to Congress, it's electoral college and popular vote totals. That is the official deadline for the Nov 3rd election. One election, in the later 1800's was decided three days before inaguration and the nation didn't crumble. It went on, just like we planned it should. We will again in 2020.

The paper trail will win the day and the election. We want accurate results. We will eventually find out.

Be patient... Most election officials are volunteer citizens, and they will count every single ballot.
Be inspired... that so many citizens are voting, and hope that this will continue in the future.
Be proud... that we do this unique method of self-governance.

Fox News Jet Infects CEO & Main Reporters

"...FoxNews network President Jay Wallace, The Five hosts Dana Perino and Juan Williams, chief political anchor Bret Baier and The Story anchor Martha MacCallum were on a charter flight from Nashville to New York with the infected person on Thursday."
A 14-day quarantine is now imposed on these five reporters.

With one week left in the campaign, FoxNews just lost it's main reporters and the network's CEO to a not-so-hoaxy virus.

Knowing how careful any flight crew is, with all safety protocols, I doubt if the flight crew is the source. The infected person had to have been exposed well before the debate as incubation takes at least two days to become contagious.

Send your favorite FoxNews celebs a bar of soap?

Protecting poll workers who are stepping up, during a pandemic, to make sure every citizen gets to cast a ballot in a safe location is one of the most pro-American behaviors we have senn in years.

Good move Green Bay.

Deer Hunting During CoVid & Flu

Here is a simple guide to the 2020 Deer Hunting Season During CoVid Pandemic.

1) Don't hunt this year. Stay home.
The best way to avoid any exposure is to not go hunting this year. You will not expose your hunting party or bring it back to your family.
This is best guarantee to not get CoVid during hunting season in 2020.

2) Take Extra Steps to Protect Your Family & Your Hunting Party
Most hunting occurs in groups. You should protect each other by quarantining for 14 days BEFORE you go hunting, so you don't bring it to camp.
Do Not Leave your hunting location, to go out to eat, go to a bar, etc. Stay away from the locals and stay in your camp. Bring everything with you.

3) Dressing Your Deer
Protect each other: WEAR PROTECTION when dressing your kills; gloves, masks, eye protection to protect each other. Bag bloody clothes, wash yourself thoroughly after and make sure you clean every tool you use for dressing. Bring a gallon of bleach and use it. 5 parts water to 1 part bleach and soak for 15mins to kill off most everything. This also makes a good 'spray' to clean surfaces in your cabin, trucks, cars, guns, knives, buckets, etc.

4) After Hunting
Drop off your kill at your meat processor before going home. This removes exposure your hunting party may have added during dressing.
When you get home, and ready to join your family. Quarantine for 14 days after you get back home. You do not want to bring anything back to your family.

These suggestions can keep you safer; only No 1 is the safest choice.
Deer Season in WIsconsin could become the worst super spreader of not only CoVid, but the seasonal flu too.

Hunting in a pandemic is a serious choice to make.
Can you outrun a forest fire while naked in the dark? Yes, if you smell smoke, you are exposed.

SOME REPLIES ARE WAY OFF:
-- I never impied the deer transmitted CoVid and have no idea how the reply got so far off topic.
--Most hunts are in groups, 1) for safety reasons, 2) to share the experience with firends/family; and teach younger hunters and as a traditional family event. Of course, killing a deer is a one person- one gun -action. I do not know of any hunters, that are 100% solitary throughout the entire process, from beginning to end of harvesting a deer.

PLEASE STAY FOCUSED ON THE SPECIFICS OF EACH SUGGESTION. Do not read something into my posts that are not there.

Trump's actions from Nov 4-Jan 20th are critical

The lame duck period for Trump may prove to be a critical, if not the most important part of his Presidency.

His actions, which many feel will be a spite-filled retaliation against the voters and career civil servants. This could cause a serious Constitutional confrontation. I won't call it a crisis, as that would have to include the Senate & House allowing Trump to retaliate. The media uses alarming terms more often than needed. The transistion of administrations is something we've done 45 times, and we do know there are often problems with that process.
Trump has assured everyone that he will intentionally cause problems.
His actions should be closely monitored, reported and the courts should be prepared for illegal actions from Trump and his supporters, in all three branches of our national government.

He cannot do anything that cannot be undone, except for causing death.

The nation should regard his Presidency as a learning experience. What we should avoid and what we sjhould definaately prevent from happening again.

No more Twitter for POTUS 46. The media must callout the lies, deceit and obsfucation that is the entire Trump term.

President's are temp employees, and they need to be reminded of that fact.

18.93% of Wisc CoVids are still 'active'

More than 1.6 million people have been tested statewide for the virus. Of the 141,830 Wisconsinites who have tested positive:

80.1%, or 113,596, have "recovered" by DHS standards, meaning there is documented proof their symptoms have resolved or it's been 30 days since their diagnosis.
18.93%, or 26,774, are considered "active," meaning they aren't recovered and haven't died.

Voter Fraud Fun in Wisconsin.. 2% as GOP claims?

An article, written in 2014, with Trump's first & former Chief of Staff and former RNC Chairman, Reince Prebius was the Chairman of the Wisconsin Republican party...and former Gov Scott Walker claimed that at least 2% of all Wisconsin votes were fraudulent.

In 2014, that would mean 61,000 ballots. The court cases showed four cases went to trial. 4 out of 61,000 is not a good conviction rate for law & order Republicans, who at that time controlled everything in Wisconsin. this only shows what bad lawyers Republicans actually are if they can only get 4 convictions out of 61,000 felony crimes. And the most serious of felony crimes too!

https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2014/07/01/murphys-law-how-republicans-cause-voter-fraud/

It's 2020 and the State of Wisconsin has 3,583,804 active registered voters on October 1, 2020.
1.16 Million Absentee Requests so fat in 2020.
This would mean that over 71,000 fake votes will be cast in Wisconsin. (Where both Prebius and Walker no longer reside).

This year, we may see alot of idiots with guns, become the self-declared protectorates of all things polling location.
Making sure colored skinned people are intimidated, voters are disrupted and made to be afraid. That a gun can ensure the ballot scanner can read a ballot and of course, the little old ladies are not CUMMINIST ANTIFA leftovers from 1930's Germany.
How have we ever survived without these Proud Boys with Infant Brains?

I look forward to reading the convictions of these Republican Defenders; loose their right to vote, spend time in prison getting raped or whatever shivved is all about and more importantly, losing the right to own a gun. Forever,no gun until they die.
